Dragon force solo, Insane! Options

[The Uncreator]

Not all there shows are bad live, i saw them last year and the sound was really good actually, after a little longer, they'll get over the whole being wasted on stage thing, and play better, when you see them play sober, its actaully very very good.

That's good to hear... hopefully they will be sober tonight... I'm really looking forward to a good performance ^^

Make sure to let us know how it goes

[EddieB]

One word (followed by many... but who's counting? ^^)

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay that may not be a word but man... Dragonforce rocked so hard tonight. I admit the stage acting was over the top, but that's who they are so I can't criticize. I'm starting to think that all those videos of their 'bad' performances were all by the same guy or group of people because this was FAR better than anything you'd see out on youtube. There were some funny moments though. Herman got his hair caught in the head of his guitar (kept playing though O.o) and Sam just kept booing Herman during his solos =P Their songs may not have been 'note for note' but I don't think a single person cared.

So ya, don't let all the videos and bad PR turn you away. Dragonforce put on a great show and if you're a fan, you should definitely see them live. \m/ (-.-)

They were pretty awful when they played here in Columbus a while back. I didn't care for their stage presence either because it was mainly the singer throwing water on the crowd while everyone pretended to be jacking off. The best part of the night was when the singer turned it over to the crowd but no one knew the words to one of their older songs and you could tell he had no idea what to do so the song just kinda died for a few seconds.

Man that just breaks my gutiars heart to hear other guitars being abused lol
I treat mine w/ respect

[The Uncreator]

Im not gonna hate mail you for it, but the fact that you took time to make just cause you dont like the band, is really sad and doesnt speak good of you, its way better to make a video about a band you love.

[InstruMental Cas...]

People don’t get that it was just a joke though. I don’t actually “hate” Dragonforce. That would be too strong a word for it. I just dislike the messy playing, and the fact that they’re setting a questionable example for young shredders out there. I think cleanliness and right and left hand synchronicity are extremely important in fast guitar-oriented music. So basically I just find the band’s popularity frustrating, and I figured someone should try and bring that stuff to people’s attention. Most of all I was just looking for a laugh! Some people can take it as a joke, and some can’t.

[The Uncreator]

I know its a joke, its just so so so overdone, my stand has always been if you dont like someone elses band, even if they are popular for reasons you cant comprehend, its not your place to try and bring it to there attention that there wrong or whatever, or criticise them cause it frustrates you.

I have no clue why alot of people like tool, i find it really boring and uninteresting, and i dont think there as good as musicians as some say they are, but i keep it to myself, because what tool fans hear in there music is different from what i hear. so, when you listen to dragonforce, and you think "God this is horrible, why do people like this", remember there is someone saying "God this is awesome, How can people not like this"

Its all oppinions, and no matter what yours is, theres alot of people with the exact opposite one.

Im not trying to get on your bad side or anything, so try not to take this to personally, maybe my original post could have been less insulting, i dont know.

Don’t worry about it man, none taken. I understand exactly what your saying, and this was an extremely rare case for me. Typically I just respect other people’s tastes, because ultimately they don’t have much of a choice about what moves them musically, and their perspective is just as valid as mine. But like I said, the video was just a joke, not meant as a big insult to Dragonforce listeners. I was just displaying another perspective of their technique and their live show. I say just take the music for what it is, and if people enjoy it then more power to them. But at the same time, those people need to understand that there are greater players to explore, because Dragonforce’s technique is not anywhere near the top of the food chain.

Alright thanks for being cool about it.

And just for the record, by NO Means are they the best players ever, i certainly dont think that, they are good and write some really cool stuff, but i dont hail them as the best ever, they are just a fun band for me to listen to.

i agree with the uncreator on opinions.me and my grandpa(he plays also)argue about whos a better guitar player.he always says clapton is better than hendrix, but i think hendrix is better because he plays more like what i listen to.my grandpa plays that(in my opinion)boring, slow stuff.not that clapton plays that, but he doesnt play the harder rock that i like. clapton is a great guitarist, but i just like hendrix because of his music style.and this all relates to what the uncreator said.
